PCT No. PCT/GB83/00307 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 25, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 25, 1984 PCT Filed Nov. 29, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/02162 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 7, 1984.A relatively lightweight 'motivator buoy' (15), constrained by guides (93) attached to a ballasted "floating platform" (1) of contrasting and static buoyancy characteristics, reciprocates vertically by wave action, lifting water via a piston (20) and cylinder (4) through automatic non-return valves (21,22) into a pressurized storage compartment (23) incorporating a compressible medium such as an airspace, then turning a water turbine (10) and electricity generator (11), or alternatively providing a hydraulic power source for other uses. Modules so constructed may be linked by an above-water framework to form continuous arrays.
